Beautiful color!

When to prune sedum

[@amvinzant]

I leave mine standing through the winter. It creates a little texture through the winter season, and the birds will eat some of the seeds off those flower heads. Then, in the spring I just sheer those dried stems back to the ground level. They're so very easy!

I will cut mine back next June!! Thanks.

[@missamysgarden1931]

You're welcome! It makes a big difference in overall height and the ability to stay standing through winter.

@@missamysgarden1931 I agree I’ve always cut back asters and phlox for same reason now thsnks to you my established sedums will get a hair cut too Miss Amy☺️💇‍♀️

Wow I know it's very late in the season, but thanks for this info cause my serum get so tall that they fall. I have been staking them early but they still slop over cause they out grow my staking. I will try next season n WILK reboot the cuttings.

Yes, worth doing. I have been doing this….the Chelsea chop I suppose…..for a few years now. Produces sturdy floriferous plants with no flopping

[@missamysgarden1931]

I agree - it's great to have them standing all winter for the birds!

when did the name chqnge from liveforevers ?????

[@claudette9784]

Hi Amy, did the pruned sedum end up the same height as it would normally? Or maybe shorter? It would be great to have a short Autumn Joy, maybe 12-15”

[@missamysgarden1931]

It ends up just a little shorter with more, smaller heads. This helps keep it standing through winter better.

[@mayarada2059]

Wow , your Sedum is absolutely looking gorgeous , my Sedum flowers just about started started ,

[@missamysgarden1931]

Maya, get out and prune them back so you have shorter stems that stand up better through the winter. You'll also have a late fall source of food for our pollinators, too!

[@kathystarnes6744]

What is the name of that sedum? Love the pink

[@missamysgarden1931]

That's Autumn Joy - very hardy, pretty and the bees love it!

[@MinecraftHeros]

I think it needs to be divided

[@missamysgarden1931]

You're right! It seems to get pushed down on the To Do List, and sometimes doesn't get done early enough in the season.
